Well, it seems that Mr. Komiyama has had enough. We think. He’ll be retiring at the end of the year, with Ericsson’s executive, Bert Nordberg, taking his place. Also, Sony’s Sir Howard Stringer is going to become the new board chairman.

Despite the grim outlooks, caused by the ratehr unpleasant recent losses, it has once again been stated that the joint venture is not going to vaporize any time soon. If necessary, extra funds are going to be injected into the operation of the struggling company.

Youserbase previews the Satio and the Aino

Friday, August 7th, 2009

And it’s on video! Yes, I know you guys love these kinds of hands-on sessions where you can just sit back and enjoy the influx of information from the live action video in front of you, as opposed to staring at sets of characters for half an hour. Your only grudge could be the reviewer’s diction in the form of various obscure accents. Now this guy is at least trying. I applaud you, reviewer guy!

The multi-part previews are just after the break. (more…)

The X2 shows up on video

And here we have Mr Supreme Cameraman messing around with the interface of the forthcoming Xperia, codenamed Vulcan.
Messing around is right.

Charge that phone!

USEB Exclusive! Rachael UI demo video

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

That’s right, folks, this is the first time ever we get a glimpse of the 3D flashiness that is the UI of Sony Ericsson’s forthcoming Android superphone, codenamed “Rachael”. It seems the generic Android interface has been completely revamped – and for the better, me thinks!

 

Righteous!

W995 Final Impressions

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

The W995- king of the Walkmans. It was announced a few months ago and released just recently. As you may have noticed, we’ve already done a review of the handset. Thing is, it was written based on a prototype of the W995 and that’s why we’ve decided to write a “final impressions” piece after having used a retail version of the phone. We’re quite happy, actually and here’s why… (more…)

Entertainment Unlimited trio caught on video… again

Yes, we are quite aware that you can’t get enough of these, so I’ll cut the chit-chat and leave you to watching the said videos.

New Sony Ericsson luminous concept dress modeled by Maria Sharapova

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

concept-dress-sharapova

Sony Ericsson’s own ambassador – Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova – wore a rather striking dress at an event in London on the 17th June. What’s so unique about it is that it uses Bluetooth to connect to your phone and lights up when you’ve got an incoming call. That way you know when someone’s calling you even when you can’t hear your phone (say, in a noisy club). This “light up” effect is described to originate from “small, white translucent scale embellishments that run down one side of the dress from the shoulder to the hip”.

The concept dress was designed by George Davies, a London College of Fashion student. The prototype garment is still far from being a commercial product, so you gals should probably stop wondering how on earth you’d have to wash this thing.
